‘Lowe’ is the new ‘Reid’

Further to the post on proposed changes to Federal electorates, the Australian Electoral Commission has confirmed that the seat of Reid, which currently includes suburbs of Lidcombe, Auburn and Granville, will be abolished. However, the seat of Lowe will be renamed Reid. Reid is named for Sir George Reid, a former Prime Minister. The proposal to name a seat McMahon has been changed. The electorate Prospect will be renamed McMahon.
